Ranger: The 518VX Comanche is backed by more than three decades of tournament-bred refinements. It’s 19' long with a 91" beam and has a maximum hp rating of 200. The 12" integrated engine set-back accelerates hole shots, increases rear deck space, and virtually eliminates backwash. Twin tanks carry 44 gallons of fuel. The patented solid fiberglass transom is linked with pulltruded fiberglass gussets and a fiberglass stringer system for endurance. The beam has been carried forward, making the front deck 12 percent larger, with a more flared bow contour for a smoother, drier ride in rough water.
SeaArk: The new ZV177 semi V-bottom bass boat has a 12-degree deadrise at the transom and is 17'8" long with a beam of 91". Rated for up to 150hp, the new vee is constructed of all-welded .100 gauge aluminum. Features include two aerated livewells, a 28-gallon fuel tank, water-tight storage box, lockable 61⁄2' rod box and 8-gauge trolling motor wiring (12/24 volt). Other standard features include a deluxe console with windshield, lockable tackle storage, and a non-skid bow deck.
Skeeter: The new Skeeter 1650BW aluminum boat measures 16'8" with a beam of 85" and is rated for 90hp. The boat’s interior flooring and decks are made from composite—no wood—to prevent warping. It comes rigged with two livewells and control system, and a built-in 20-gallon fuel tank. It also comes equipped with tachometer, speedometer, trim, and fuel gauge.

The hull is all-welded construction using Starcraft’s Power-Trac Hull with torsion beam construction. Also featured is a NexGen instrument panel, a fiberglass console base, new ergonomic seats and benches, dual console and center bow rod box. An in-floor tackle box is located in the bow, as well as dry storage under the seat. Seating is a bench seat along with two pinchless Ergo Dynamic seats and composite frames and two pedestal seat locations. Two livewells are situated fore and aft on the 1860 and 1754, both illuminated on the 1860. A 450 gph bilge pump is standard, as is a AM/FM cassette stereo, and a Lowrance X-25 or X-28 depthfinder.

Features include a step-up ice chest, 6" manual jackplate, built-in Tri-Pro charger with a built-in 14-function “heads-up” display. An Evinrude FICHT fuel injection 225hp outboard is standard along with Lowrance X-65 fish locator mounted flush in the console, and an Evinrude Silent Start 24-volt 41-pound thrust trolling motor.
Smoker Craft: The 178 Ultima with a length of 17'8", a 91" beam, and a 39" deep interior has the size to take on any fishing situation.
